People riot when they can't make ends meet, not when they can't install an app on their phone. Rioting is very costly.

The rioting in Washington a while back had little to do with people not being able to make ends meet. Many civil wars (including the US Civil War) came about for other reasons.
US Civil War was a civil war in name only. For all practical purposes, it was an interstate conflict.
And yes, riots can be caused by other things too - e.g. religious riots. But whatever it is, people have to care a lot about it, enough so to be willing to put their own life and limb on the line. This is not one of those cases.
